Political Moderation in America's First Two Centuries - Calhoon, Robert McCluer (University of North Carolina, Greensboro)

Political Moderation in America's First Two Centuries corrects the popular misconception of moderation as timidity and caution. The author examines the structure of moderate political thought; analyzes moderate apprehensions, values, and visions of the future; and depicts moderation, not as a life long conviction, but as a journey from other political stances toward the moral center of politics.
